Life is, of course, our greatest challenge. Through our attitudes and actions we choose whether we will live it greatly, with grace and power, or live it in vain unhappiness and pain. It is within our capacity as humans to live with wisdom and faith in ourselves, in our Creator, and in those with whom we share the earth. To perceive words of wisdom, one must do one thing: Listen! In his new book, Reflections from Beyond: A Pocket Book of Wisdom,author William deGraftColeman reminds all of us, sufferers and healthy alike, that even though strife abounds everywhere in our world, all is not lost—imbedded in each and every one of us is the power to make life worth living. Instead of looking down on others, let others look up to you. To acknowledge your imperfections is to appreciate your very humanity, but to decline is to deny your very essence! With over 500 pearls of wisdom, Reflections from Beyond was born as deGraftColeman gradually lifted the shroud that more than twenty years of crippling anxiety had cast on his life. The miracle that woke him into living fully can be realized by all of us through these indispensable and thought-provoking insights. With our hearts open and our feet upon our true path, we will find our great fortune in the gift of life.

'The Hip Pocket Guide to Offbeat Wisdom' is an anthology of succinct and profound quotations ranging from Popeye to Picasso, from Johnny Rotten to Jesus. The quotes have been chosen and arranged very deliberately to best play off, amplify, and inform each other. The quotes in this collection may or may not reflect the author's temperament, with its eastern influenced mysticism, Germanic penchant for deep thought, and slightly off-center sensibility. These collected quotations are wonderful in many ways ' as intellectual chewing gum, as idea-and-reflection-generators, and as conversational Tabasco®.
